According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred around 7:00 p.m. near a well-known eatery in the bustling Ekeki area, situated along the Chief Melford Okilo Expressway.
The assailants reportedly intercepted the judge’s vehicle before forcing him into their getaway car and fleeing the scene.
The shocking abduction comes amid rising insecurity in Bayelsa State, where a recent surge in violent crimes — including armed robberies and cult-related killings — has left residents on edge.
Multiple fatalities have been reported in recent weeks due to escalating clashes between rival gangs.
